Many larger conferences routinely televise certain sessions over closed circuit TV that is available in the hotel sleeping rooms. The provision of closed circuit TV in the nursing room and/or sleeping rooms (where a mother may be stuck with an unexpectedly sick child) would further improve the odds that nursing moms would get to see a significant portion of the conference. Of course, this leads into ideas for recording and podcasting talks so that even those who may not have travel funds, good health, or time for conferences could benefit as well....
